Tuck said he anticipates Turner playing Sunday, even after sitting out the second half of Atlanta's 28-19 loss to Carolina. Turner, an explosive back, had
nine carries for 111 yards before his second-quarter departure."I expect him to play, honestly," Tuck said. "Until he's ruled completely out, we'll prepare as if he's going to play."
Turner ranks seventh among NFL running backs with 831 yards on 165 carries (5.0 average) and 10 touchdowns. Those TDs rank him third behind Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew (12) and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (11). Losing Turner obviously would put a huge crimp in a Falcons running game that ranks ninth in the league with a 126.1-yard average.

If the Giants get to face Stecker, instead of Turner, that's would be a huge gift for the NY D. I hope that Sheridan has the common sense to blitz like crazy if Turner is out.
Matt Ryan and his brittle recieving core can only do so much although I do worry about Gonzo. Sheridans ass is on the line with fans because they should look good without an opposing rushing attack.
